Princess Leia and open source...
summary
Claims that ~70% of people experience the imposter phenomenon and that contributing to open source is a practical cure: joining the Puppet ecosystem, submitting a first pull request on GitHub that gets merged, becoming a maintainer and publishing modules. Concrete coping tools include awareness of the cognitive bias, deliberate sharing of insecurities, learning specific patterns not every tool, embracing being a novice, and watching for burnout. Evidence is personal progress from silence to sustained community contribution.
